i wish i wrote better lyrics 4 u
the way u look at me
i can’t explain
what it does 2 me
i lay on yr floor
stabbed by sewing needles
they chip away at my flesh
but i’m just happy 2 be there
i think yr my home
i need to sleep
i only see u in my dreams
are u there
i love u so / i love u so
yr only in my head
yr a figment of my imagination
can u show yrself
yr too real 2 me
too real 2 me
i need to sleep
i only see u in my dreams
are u there
i love u so / i love u so

part 1: sleepytyme
i see u in my dreams
oh my god
part 2: the part where carter daydreams about his fantasies
u take me
about an hour away from home
oh my god
we’re walking
to the bus station
ohhh my god
oh my god
please let me be
yr favorite little subject
the topic of yr artistry
oh to be
covered in yr paint
make me fucking beautiful
i’m falling off yr fucking roof
oh my god
we’re gazing
at the stars on nose hill
oh my god
yr spine
is curved
at a 65º angle
please let me be
yr favorite little subject
the topic of yr artistry
oh to be
covered in yr paint
make me fucking beautiful
part 3: the part where carter is asleep
i woke up on yr couch at 3am
there’s 2 cats staring my face
i use my flashlight to
watch their eyes
take my grave and throw it up there
yr gonna be the death of me
my legs are feeling real weak now
i fell in love with yr characters
the art that u’ve created
i wish i could be a character
the art that u’ve created
i think we’ve finally let ourselves
become the art
i think we’ve commercialized our romance
into our own
product that we can both enjoy
a gift for eachother
and i guess that’s alright
take my grave and throw it up there
throw it up there
part 4: the part where carter wakes up
i love u so my dear
i need u so darling
i wanna be commercialized
i wanna be stereotyped
i wanna be yr favorite character
i wanna be a comic book character
i dont wanna be real anymore
i just wanna sleep on yr floor
i wanna take a piece of something that means everything to u
my bed’s so cold
without u
without u there
please let me be
yr favorite little subject
the topic of yr artistry
oh to be
covered in yr paint
make me fucking beautiful
carter! u need to make a dance song!

man yr hard to get
i need some more information

the ending of that one thing
u could make me something great
cut me something soon
out of yr artwork
i think yr a rabbit/ yr in my dreams
i will tell u anything that u want to hear
if that can make u mine
i’m a compulsive liar if it makes u happy
if i can be yr prize

why is it so damn hot in here
i mean the ghostzone has an ac but we don’t
i think we should steal it
i think that’s a pretty good idea
we should just take their ac
they don’t need it it’s so hot here
and it’s so cold there
yeah, they don’t need it
he summons demons
he’s stuck with those two
and then the lach
the prince of ghostzone
he gets this really funny cute guy
to take it back, let’s see if he can try
they’re gonna beat up
moya the satanist
the lach calls the
demon princess
the lach is evil and he wants to melt home
the ghostzone guard is friends with death now
badplace
want that ac
from the ghost zone
king’s fucking crazy
and if u want yr shit back
u better go through him
and if u want yr shit back
u better go through him
it came to kill them
so they all screamed and ran
moya doesn’t get
why he’s gonna die
the ghostzone guard is walking walking with death now
why the hell is death is involved now
it’s not like he can
do much anyways
he kinda stupid
yet so is the little bear
moya’s here at the library
his teacher’s there at the library
badplace
want that ac
from the ghost zone
king’s fucking crazy
and if u want yr shit back
u better go through him

u better go through him
moya, look, forget about me, and the school, or yr parents, or whatever
uh
“this”
is about
yr literally wearing horns in public
i don't know what u are trying to look like but u look like a jackass
a jackass looking for trouble
u aren’t stupid moya, i know u are here on this computer to get in trouble
but i'm not going to give u detention. all u need is to hear this
there has never been a single teenager who didn’t make the absolute worst choice possible in every single moment
everything u are doing is wrong, and in a few years just thinking about it will make u want to kill yrself
now get the hell out of this library and set yr brain on fire

well there's an
image on the internet that’s not the same
image on the internet that’s not the same
till yr gone
u say that there are animals but that’s not true for u
u say that there are animals but that’s not true
lying, i just think i’m finding a constracting feeling
that lives inside my brain
and as i went to the queen’s only daughter i said to her
if i went around the world
it probably wouldn’t take 80 days
but guess what i wouldn’t see
not a single animal
so i walked down the street
and i saw a rubber ducky
i said why are there animals in society
u say that there are animals but that’s not true for u
u say that there are animals but that’s not true
lying, i just think i’m finding a constracting feeling
that lives inside my brain
and as i went to the queen’s only daughter i said to her
every inch of my heart
is dominated by u
cover me in yr
finest fur
make me an animal
every inch of my heart
is dominated by u
cover me in yr
finest fur
make me an animal
u say that there are animals but that’s not true for u
u say that there are animals but that’s not true
lying, i just think i’m finding a constracting feeling
that lives inside my brain
and as i went to the queen’s only daughter i said to her

i think of love and loving u
let me keep a piece of u
can i say goodnight
i want a piece of the ghost of yr heart
i love u
i can feel yr mouth from here
i see it a mile away
when u finally step off the plane
i think i’ll die for u
let me keep a piece of u
can i say goodnight
i want a piece of the ghost of yr heart
i love u

i’m sick of lying
this sense of fighting
yr love just fucks me up
yr love just fucks me differently so
i’ll take that bullet
or any other bullet
that u want me to take
shit that’s probably a mistake
oh man
i’m sick of lying
this sense of fighting
yr love just fucks me up
yr love just fucks me differently so
i’ll take that bullet
or any other bullet
that u want me to take
shit that’s probably a mistake
oh man
i’m not doing this for u
it’s finally for me
i hope i can see
everything this time
i’m not here to please u i’m my own
human being
i can’t feel anymore
yr surreal in my head
say something to me
that i can see as real
cause i’m so tired of looking at a screen
i can’t turn u off
so stay with me
yr just a machine
i’m a human being
would i turn u away
even if i could
probably not
i’d feel even more alone then
i’m sick of lying
this sense of fighting
yr love just fucks me up
yr love just fucks me differently so
i’ll take that bullet
or any other bullet
that u want me to take
shit that’s probably a mistake
oh man
i’m sick of lying
this sense of fighting
yr love just fucks me up
yr love just fucks me differently so
i’ll take that bullet
or any other bullet
that u want me to take
shit that’s probably a mistake
oh man
take my grave and throw it up there
i think yr a rabbit
yr in my dreams
carter’s reality is just a dream, a fantasy u two created together. regardless of how happy he is, he has nothing to anchor himself with. they are just characters in each other's minds. they are bound by nothing but romantic desire, which is a scary concept to say the least. but, they think that’s okay. he has u, the truest form of u and u have him, the truest form of him. maybe they’ll make their fantasies a reality one day.
take my grave and throw it up there
EVERYONE
GETS IT NOW
BECAUSE I’M NOT HIM
THE STARRY-EYED BOY IS DEAD
A FADED MEMORY
OF SOMEONE I USED TO BE
A ROBOT
A GEMSTONE
A ROBOT
A GEMSTONE
SOMEONE I’M NOT PROUD OF
I USED TO WANT TO TAKE IT AWAY
THE WORDS THAT I WROTE ONE DAY
BUT I CAN’T AND I WON’T
BUT I CAN’T AND I WON’T
THIS IS WHAT I HAVE TO SAY
LET'S TAKE A FLIGHT TODAY
AND I THINK THAT I’LL HEAR HER SAY
FACETIME SCREENS AND SUMMER DREAMS
FEEL SO FAR AWAY
i just needed that so i could know what it is

i’ll write some made up words
u'll turn my heart into a home
for u
i think i wanna be loved by u
everything i do alone i want to do with you

I'm Happy. Anyway, I'm Not Dying. (2016 Remaster)
by Yseulde
for sure the most beautiful album i've ever heard in my entire life. yseulde creates magnificent soundscapes using just a guitar, some loops, tapes, occasional synths, and a whole fuck ton of heart.

by Letting Up Despite Great Faults
On their latest LP, the Austin group peel away the synth and distortion to highlight the jangly melodies at the core of their songs.
